eFCS - Enhancing the Public Distribution System through E-Governance

Mastek's eFCS (electronic Food and Civil Supplies) solution allows the Indian Government to improve efficiency and bring transparency and accountability to its Public Distribution System, thus ensuring food security for the Below Poverty Line (BPL) population.

Product Overview

The Indian Public Distribution System (PDS) is the world’s largest food distribution network, covering 60 million families. It plays an important role in providing food security to India’s large BPL population. Providing essential commodities at affordable rates, it also exercises control over prices and checks dishonest trade practices.

The Government today aims to remove the existing malpractices and mismanagement from the current PDS, and bring in transparency and efficient delivery of services through e-Governance.

Mastek has utilised its extensive experience of providing e-governance technology to design the generalised eFCS (electronic Food and Civil Supplies) framework. eFCS automates the entire PDS and removes all major lacunae of the existing manual system.
